New bike Questions

so, the time has come to step up a level in the road bike world for me. Im after a better spec bike and ive got a budget of £1500.
Ive seen the Cube agree 2012 model with the ultegra groupset and im very, very interested.

Im not sure what to go for, the triple or compact. It may be time for me to step up a level in terms of bike spec, BUT, what do i actually need?

This is the model of been looiking at and will more than likely get,but i also have the option of the triple chainset.
Ive also seen the 2012 Cube agree GTC model and it also looks very nice, but im not sure if the spec is good for £1200 ish.

At present ive got a Specialized allez 16 with standard shimano stuff on it, so i can see anything being an improvement.

Your feedback would be very helpful

Thanks

Rikki

There both quite high end aluminium frames but for that price you can almost get ultegra carbon bikes.

the easton wheels arent the best imo and are often quite heavy, especially aero ones.

id have a look at the trek madone rance £1500 will get you a carbon 105 spec bike where as if you save a little more you could get a 3.5 madone carbon and ultegra spec.

Ive chosen the above bikes mainly beacause im impatient and really want a bike on 0% finance. The site im looking on is leisurelakesbikes.co.uk ive had 3 bikes from them before and their service is top.

I wish i did have 1500 in cash, as then i would probably get a bianchi, they are my favourite

Does anyone else know a website with a larger collection of bikes on 0% finance?
